I cannot believe that Christmas is only weeks away! To get you in the holiday spirit, MECCA are launching their holiday collection tomorrow (be quick and snap up your favourites – there are some amazing launches that will surely sell out).
For me, the holiday season is all about treating yourself a little (or a lot!) for all the hard work you’ve done throughout the year. Here are my top picks from the MECCA Holiday 2016 Collection that I was lucky enough to view in person a few months ago, featuring BY TERRY, NARS, Urban Decay, Diptyque, MECCA Cosmetica and more!
BY TERRY OMBRE BLACKSTAR SET – $200
Beautifully pigmented, creamy and long lasting, BY TERRY have created a coffret with 5 of the bestselling Ombre Blackstar eyeshadow shades! It comes packaged in a gorgeous silver and copper box.
FORNASETTI BACCIO CANDLE – 300G $247, NEW 1KG $387 & 1.9KG $715
Every time I see a Fornasetti Profumi candle, I’m just in awe of how stunning the illustrated ceramic cases are. This Christmas, the brand has launched a holiday only 1KG version of their famous Baccio candle, with notes of thyme, lavender, cedarwood and birch.
MECCA COSMETICA (EM)POWER POUT TINTED LIP DE LUSCIOUS TRIO – $45
